I do this constantly because the next town over is where The Good Theater is

DEXTER'S SECRET

Fun fact Re: this Easy Street passage - In college, I wrote two papers on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels: one about Jungian archetypes, and another about how Scott’s avoidance/absorption of the Negascott is kind of the whole point of his character, a kind of third-act Shakespearean climax.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Man, this was such a great year for movies. The best to ever do it just keep doin’ it. So many stuck with me and led me to read essays and history and commentary before rewatching. This year I also further explored PTA‘s and Rian Johnson’s body of work.

diet sprite should be as ubiquitous as diet coke. it's weird that we replicated the red/white wine model with sodas and then never popularized its chardonnay

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

Acting in 2025, by the numbers: -20 new voice acting credits -6 unique podcasts -2 roles in published video games -2 video game mods -2 dialect workshops -1 stage role -1 stage combat workshop -1 book on acting technique -225 episodes of Voice Acting Mastery listened to (while taking notes)

Last year, my resolution was to start showing up for myself. Happy to say I accomplished it. Began my training arc for acting, started therapy, and did plenty of other important work to try and find me.

Had a hell of a time trying to find Easy Street (The Hard Way) by Ron Perlman at the bookstore, which I’ve been interested in since I read a section of it while browsing years ago. Until it ships to me, I’m reaching for The Murder on the Links, a Poirot mystery I haven’t read yet.

Now reading: Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. A woman tells her grown children the story of a fling she had as an actress in a summer stock theater festival, which expands into a greater story of how she met her husband, who they were before their children, what could have been, and what eventually was.

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

I browsed Tubi after our Columbo night last week and it is the most eclectic catalogue out there. Every suggested category is a whiplash. I love it

Catch me as Sanders in The Jester and the Madman, out on Steam and now featuring a full cast of voice actors! And remember… Homeland always acts in your best interest.

Never give up on your dreams.

this is literally never not accurate

Sorry one more

Damn it Walter! Everything is a fucking travesty with you man! And what was all that shit about Malevelon Creek!

The editing and sound design in this is so stellar. You can really just close your eyes and see it playing like a movie. Catch me as Rodney (and several other roles) in the 2025 show from The Distant Silence Radio Hour!

watching the original SPACE JAM with the kids and my four year old, who seems to be a budding film critic, just complained, "it's been so long and we're not even in space!"

I play Jorundr Skalblade in the newly released Fresh Blood mod for Skyrim, the latest from prolific mod developer kvatchcount! It features 25 unique and fully-voiced NPC allies for you to recruit to the Dawnguard as well as original music. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/...

"Yes...Kingdom Hearts... Rejoice, and feast on these hearts we offer! Shine your pale light on this empty realm... Share your power with all Nobodies!"

Live, directed recording sessions are so electric. I love recording alone and really getting lost in my imagination, but collaborating with someone else who’s so passionate about the script really brings out incredible discoveries. 3 hour sessions just fly by.

“Ohio” is out on YouTube and Spotify! In this one, I play two dads with two very different goals—one in the framing story having a fun day with the family, and another in the final tale running after his daughter.

the baby has stolen something but doesn’t have the language skills to tell me where she put it. this is bullshit. she’s laughing at me

Go listen to the latest episode of Your Horror Show! In this episode written by Steve Lloyd and filled with great performances and editing, I play Cameron, a former soldier trapped in an endless looping nightmare.

My debut episode with anthology podcast Tales from the Janitor has been released on Spotify and YouTube! I first recorded for them several months ago, and I’ll be in several upcoming episodes as well playing a bunch of fun characters. youtu.be/fwkxOmgC3sk

A sampling of my summer reading:

When I was a kid, I drew comics, but no one could read them. So in 5th grade I decided to get some grid paper and design an all-caps handwriting where every letter was the exact height and width of the boxes to mimic what I saw in comic books. Still proud of Kid Me for putting in that effort

First time since I've worked here where I read a headline and immediately thought "Oh this one's about me 100%."

Happy to announce that I play a concerned neighbor in Nightmare Shift, a new indie horror game just released on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3212180/...

When Twitter started promoting literal Nazi shit in my feed I knew I couldn’t even passively use it anymore.

I don’t share this very often, but you guys deserve it.

Really loving Français Fantasy (Expedition 33) so far. Just an absolutely solid game all around that feels like what I remember PS2 games felt like (but know they weren’t)

Rumeysa Özturk’s release has been ordered, but her detention shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Trump’s targeting of students like Özturk is an attack on free speech and our most basic rights, plain and simple. And every Democrat should have been treating it that way.

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Not me thinking I could watch all three Andor episodes as soon as they aired and then just immediately go peacefully to sleep

Thunderbolts* is entertaining and predictable at the surface level, a bit messy in ways that aren’t so obvious, and held together with a very strong theme of the need for connection in the face of low self worth, loneliness, and suicidal ideation that permeates every angle.

Custom joint-ops game tonight: the forces of Chaos have summoned a demon prince; now the Penitent Rustbearers and the Dark Angels must dismantle the three ritual sites and send it back to the Warp.

Weird thought that occurred to me today: is Jenga a solved game?

Waking up after jumping back into the gym yesterday with the full upper body routine and more weight after two months

Throwback to the time we dropped a 25lb stage weight from three stories to simulate the importance of wearing a hardhat
